Because they want you to know that they are truly worshiping God and not that native doctor that you think they are worshiping. grin

Frustration?

Where did you get that from?
Most atheists are living better lives than most of you religious folks who are either busing praying everyday against imaginary demons of anti-success and commanding your imaginary enemies to fall down and die, but unfortunately those imaginary demons keep resurrecting and tormenting you people. Lol.

We are free from those mind games being played on religious minds.

So where is frustration you're talking about?

still, what I hate is generalization, all atheist lives a better life? Chances are an atheist tends 2 commit suicide more than a religious person... At least dat 'mind game' help keep us in check. #peace

That's cos like someone told you, we are mostly ex christians. You can't attack what you don't know.

Islam has a way of enslaving its adherents in fear that makes it very difficult to reject the faith.

Anytime I see a muslim who dumps islam, I doff my hat for him or her cos I know how difficult it is
alryt got ur point. Now why do you guys always find it difficult 2 let the religious pple be?, you don't believe in God... fyn, must you attack them esp. xtrianity? Must you always say something bad about their God just 2 arouse their anger? Does it make you feel good? You derive fun in it? Or is it just dat the frustration is still there hanging somewhere, looking for every opportunity 2 unleash it terror on the people of God?.

Firstly, when you people start telling people how to live their lives, when you start saying abortion is wrong, homosexuality is wrong etc (and not just saying its wrong but trying to enforce such values on others) because it contradicts your religious view, we have to attack those religious views to enable you see things from a broader perspective.

Secondly, take a look at the recently passed gay bill that stipulates a punishment of 14 years for any homosexual. This is a law that mainly stems from religious and cultural bias. How can we keep quiet when such injustice is being done to people because of what they consent to do in the private which concerns and affects no one?

We need more religiously unbiased and freeminded people at the helm of affairs of this nation.

It begins from somewhere. Nairaland and other online forums is a good place to start.

enforced you say?, if 1/4 of these things are enforced you think you'll still be who you are now... Ofcourse there's freewill, reason why a xtrian won't force xtianity down ur throat(that is not thesame 4 a particular religion). @homosexuallity, even a sango worshipper will frown at that one. It has a lot 2 do wit morality than wit religion. Lemme ask you this question, can you hold down a human and slit his throat?

Maybe you start by showing why homosexuality is morally wrong and how it affects you when two consenting adults choose to be homosexuals.

As for your question. NO

you don't believe in creation, granted. Biologically, why do you think there're two different sex's, if 'nature' want homosexuality, why bother itself with 2 diff. sex's?.

@your answer, but you can justify abortion? Yes?

Not all hope is lost. When I consider popular persons like Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin and Seun Kuti who are all atheists, the last two being open about it. Then there is a chance that one can be open about his atheism in Nigeria. You just have to be smart about it.

Only that no god has ever made any rule anywhere. . .All rules are made by humans. . .Some attribute it to their gods while some don't but all laws are man made. . .Gods do not make laws any where. . .By the way which god are we even talking about?. . .Zeus, Allah, Khrishna, Vishnu, Pallangon, Yahweh, Baal, Palangon, which god exactly because there are many many gods. . .

why do u have to tell them that you dont believe in God? but how come your position has not changed all these time? Have you considered going for deliverance at MFM from the spirit of the anti-Christ?

I will consider it when you also consider going to the central mosque to be delivered of the spirit of anti islam. . .
